A RETIRED military man who terrorized and caused evacuation of Naval Hospital workers and patients pleaded not guilty to the charges of terrorist conduct, disorderly conduct and entering a military, naval or coast guard property.
David Eugene Thomas, 49, was in the courtroom of Guam District Court Magistrate Judge Joaquin Manibusan for his arraignment on Friday.
After he was advised of his rights, Thomas, through his attorney, Federal Public Defender John Gorman, waived the reading of his indictment and entered not guilty to all the charges.
Judge Manibusan scheduled his trial for June 28 at 9:30 a.m.
During the court proceeding, his lawyer reminded the court that his client has not received the urgent medical treatment ordered at the last hearing.
He further requested for the U.S. Marshals Service to transport his client for treatment as soon as possible.
A representative from the U.S. Attorney’s Office did not object, prompting the court to order the U.S. Marshal to coordinate the transportation and instructed a probation officer to contact the facility for said treatment.
Thomas, however, remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
He was indicted by a grand jury last week for terrorizing patients and personnel at the Naval Hospital two Fridays ago.
Thomas entered the Naval Hospital at 12:30 a.m. two Fridays ago and announced that he has weapons and explosives in his backpack, causing hospital workers to evacuate patients, including those in the intensive care unit and neo-natal ward.
Prior to the terrorist conduct, Thomas reportedly went to Andersen Air Force Base and engaged in a fight during a softball game two Wednesdays ago, causing inconvenience to the public.
Thomas allegedly went to Andersen’s Subway food chain a day later and created public disturbance by violently reacting to someone whom he also threatened violently.
Because of the softball incident, Andresen law enforcers removed Thomas and ordered the former military man not to reenter the military base.
Thomas, however, violated the order when he returned on April 26 and created public disturbance at Subway restaurant.
On April 27, Thomas entered the U.S. Navy Hospital and threatened to shoot one of the security officers.
He also announced that he has weapons and explosives in his backpack, prompting the hospital employees to panic and evacuate the patients.
